NFL Fans React To Eddie Lacy's Troubling Arrest On Monday
Today at 02:50 PM
Former Alabama star and Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy was arrested on Monday night.
According to police in Scottsdale, Arizona, via TMZ, Lacy was pulled over around 10:40 p.m. ET last night after committing "several traffic violations." Lacy, 34, reportedly exhibited signs of intoxication during the traffic stop, and was ultimately arrested. Police charged the Louisiana native with four counts of DUI, including "Extreme DUI -- BAC .20 or more," as well as for having an open container of alcohol in the car.
Lacy was released from jail on Tuesday. In the meantime, NFL fans have been discussing the arrest on social media.
"All duis should be extreme. Don't drink and drive!!" one person said.
"I had to look up Extreme DUI. This category of DUI applies to a person with an alcohol concentration of 0.15 or higher. Dude was packing in some drinks!" another person added.
"Can we treat him like we (rightfully) treated the dude who killed the Hockey brothers? Or we gonna move on in 12 hours since no one died?" a third person asked.
"0.2 is crazy. The cops saved his life or the life of someone else," a fourth person chimed in.
"Hope Eddie knows he can always call the Bama family if he needs any extra help with what he's going through. Prayers to him," a fifth person said.
A second-round pick of the Packers out of Alabama in 2013, Lacy had two 1,000-yard seasons to begin his NFL career. However, his play declined in 2015 and 2016, and Lacy made his last professional appearance with the Seattle Seahawks during the 2017 season.
